IH-888-NT - 21/23oz indigo Selvedge DWC Jeans

[flavour79]

Giles will retailers have access to this model??

[Giles]

Nope….. (Well, Denim Manilla are taking 4 pairs)....

Mildblend are taking a few of the IH-888-UHR version.....That's it

Boggles my mind some of the gear that retailers refuse to take.

[neph93]

I suspect that the average customer at R&H or B&S isn't the same person as the average IHUK customer.

[Giles]

Well, retailers were not offered the IH-888NT (Kai from Denim Manilla asked me nicely if he could have some, and as I am seeing him in Manilla in a couple of months, I thought I ought to be nice to him  )

And generally, the UHR does not sell well to retailers, I'd call it a specialist denim and really only sells to people who really know what they're getting into.

Hoping this model comes out closer to the original measurements. Tried on the 888S @ Mildblend and wound up with slightly snug thighs with a slightly loose waist.

[Sreeni]

I am hoping I get my thigh measurements of 12.7 inches without having to size up.

[mpukas]

Just another vote for hoping the thigh measurements come in closer to at least the same as the 634S. Although it's too hot to wear pants of any sort right now where I am, I've tried on a couple of different versions of 634's that I have, and I really wouldn't want anything smaller in thighs. Higher rise + taper from above the knee? BRING IT!!!!

So after trying on the 21oz at the weekend I am having second thoughts about these. Regardless of the thigh being too tight the rise felt massive. As someone who wears his jeans low I dunno if this is the cut for me

So being my first pair of UHR jeans what would the raw waist be on a 38?

[neph93]

39" maybe. That's a pure guess though.

[Megatron1505]

I don't think that's a bad guess.

[joephoto]

That's about what I was think and it's perfect for me. Thanks guys.

I know October is the month for these to ship, but do we have a specific date set for them? I didn't see anything in the thread. With the contest starting November, 1, I assume it'll align with that? Thanks for any clarification in advance.

[Giles]

They should arrive in time to get to contestants by 1st November latest…

[Norrin]

Sounds perfect timing for the colder weather here in UK.

@Giles I’m gonna be away for when these ship. I need to order an additional
Size and then return the one that doesn’t fit because i am losing weight and not sure where I’ll be at the time
They arrive. Also I’m worried my size will be sold out if I wait until I get back from my trip. Please let me know if we can arrange this. I will pay for both obviously. Then return one. Thanks.

[Giles]

They'll go on sale at a specific date and time (to be announced when I know they will be in UK), I simply can't start taking out multiple pairs for unknown periods.  It's just not fair for others….

Right on. I’ll work it out. I’ll just order them when I pay the balance for the ones I preordered.
